Preferably erratic ones with fluctuating form and a low commitment to football.
As you say Trav, some are always on the lookout for a key forward, so they wont be looking at Tarrant.
Freo have dug their own grave. Recruiting has been crap because they always go for the recycled player.
Chris Tarrant
Dean Solomon
Mark Johnson
And that's just the last season and a bit.
The Trent Croad debacle.
Their record of players leaving and then thriving is also horrific:
James Clement
Brodie Holland
Paul Medhurst
Peter Bell (first time around)
Adam McPhee
Winston Abraham (one for the older readers)
Andrew McLeod (traded for Chris Groom. Who?)
Matthew Burton
Jeff White
Troy Longmuir (okay stretching it, but he played some decent footy for the Preston Bullants)
Pity we never got any good ones....Mark Gale, Craig Callaghan, Gavin Mitchell, Tony Delaney.....

Gardiner, yes, was absolutely bagging him. Jury's still out there.evertonfc wrote:For the right price, of course.
The amount of people on here who would have rejected King or Gardiner would be close to 100%.
But they don't look like bad pick-ups for the price we paid.
It's all about value.
Always thought King was worth a punt. Premiership ruckman, only 29 and cost nothing.

king and gardiner are yet to play a dozen games between them I think.
time will tell whether they were worth the investment.
last years ruckman matty clarke is gone already, not sure if he turned out for 10 games or not.

Take away Birrs....so that is King, Gadi and Gardiner for half of pick 43...
You are a hard man to please Dan............

birss is hard at it, but his skills are mcgough like, I can't see a long term future for him in the seniors unless we are blighted by injuries, i would think being spanked in form by mini is an indictment.
king, will we get a dozen games out of him?
clarke, did we get a dozen games out of him?
gardiner, see king
Charlie gardiner, well schwarz like in ability, but he cooked his own goose when he held out for more money.
I think taking players for the sake of taking players is pointless. with the gold in FG, hammil came a whole heap of ordinary talent and well dross with blight, with gale and callaghan who suffered shocking injuries.
IMO you take the long term punt (VR, Brooks) and it doesn't pan out, you get paid out on, you take the short term punt (crapuano, doc clarke, gardiner, king) it doesn't pan out, you get paid out.
that said at 28 there is still time for gardiner and king to do something positive for st kilda.
20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Please no more ex Collingwood duds
Monkhurst and Francis were bad enough. Please no more. Tarrant is not going to give us anything we need.
